Gabapentin for pain and anxiety

How much do you take and at what times?

For years, I took 900 mg at bedtime for RLS and associated pain. I was able to taper down to 600 mg without much trouble. Getting below 600 mg seems nearly impossible. I've read that some people, who no longer need it, keep taking it for life because they can't get off. 😒

That’s what I am seeing, I can go down on doses but can’t stop totally. Anxiety would go through the roof if I stop. I tak 3x300 a day.

I completely relate. I was prescribed Gabapentin off label for menopausal symptoms and take it every night (600-700 mgs) still 15 years later for pain and as sleep aid. I hope no serious consequences.
But really helps keep me calm. Just find I’m foggy and a little clumsy in the mornings.
